Wow, really? I had just heard about it. Yeah, I'm REALLY out of the loop. Sucked into World of Warcraft again, and even more now that I started class. I'm not even listening to any podcasts anymore. But I stopped into Gamespot for a quick look around, saw that their Lair review completely destroyed it, remembered that it was one of the games Sony was banking on, and suddenly got thrust back into my old "OMG CONSOLE WAR" mentality, which was one of my favorite things to talk about. And then I hopped into here, found a console war thread, shouted "PERFECT," and posted a link.

I'm sick of this console war ****; seriously, it was fun for a while, and maybe a year ago I'd have been cheering on the sidelines because of this, but that's when I thought this was going to be a neck-to-neck competition. Sure, 360 has had the RRoD problem, and there's the whole issue of the limiting DVD format, but in the end: 360 with Bioshock and PS3 with Lair... I'm praying for a good PS3 game, just because I want everybody to have fun.

Haha, Sony and Factor 5 sent out a "Lair Reviewer's Guide" to show the reviewers/professional gamers how to play the game. A giant, desperate insult; like a toddler giving Muhammad Ali the finger before a boxing match.

Well the big news this month is that 360 finally beat the PS2 in sales. Looks like their price drop did them some good, like an extra 100,000 units good. In fact the 360 is the only system that had any growth this month. Of course the Wii and DS are still running strong but it looks like the effects of the PS3 fire sale are wearing down.

Next month there is Halo 3 and it will be interesting to see how that effects 360 sales and if anyone else (mostly the PS3) will feel the effects of it.
